"Where did this brat come from, daring to be so insolent! He's not even afraid of ghosts!"

Shi Yu reached behind the female ghost and was about to reach for it when the ghost suddenly turned around and glared at her fiercely.

"Baby meat is the most nutritious."

"Then I'll eat you first!"

As the female ghost spoke, her long fingernails reached out and clawed at Shi Yu.

"Ah! My Yu Yu!" He Qiu Niang was so frightened that her legs went weak.

How could she have forgotten her precious little daughter outside the safety perimeter at such a crucial moment?

Just as the female ghost's long fingernails were about to grab Shi Yu...

She used a spatial skill to teleport behind the female ghost.

With a gentle touch, she removed the small stone piece stuck behind the female ghost.

Then, she flashed back to Little Green's back.

The female ghost who had the stone taken from her body instantly lost all her resentment.

It returned to its normal size in a short while.

Tantai Qingchuan smashed her to pieces with a large sword inlaid with a protective stone.

Evil spirits are forbidden within the imperial city.

No matter how wronged this ghost is, once he takes action and develops the will to harm people, he can no longer show her mercy.

Shi Yu held the broken stone pieces in her hand, looking quite puzzled.

[Gua66, doesn't this tactic seem familiar?]

Gua66 doesn't understand, [What does it look familiar?]

It's basically a gossip-mongering system.

We should eat the melons that belong to others.

Now they've added a new business: they also want to get involved in gossip about evil spirits and ghosts.

[A stone that protects the Great Gan Kingdom from evil spirits.]

[Contaminated stone fragments will enhance the power of evil spirits.]

[Doesn't this story setting remind you of the comic books you used to read?]

[Japan's *Digimon* and *Inuyasha*.]

Melon 66, [The corrupted black gear and the shattered Shikon Jewel.]

Shi Yu, [Yes, that's right.]

This world feels so predictable.

Forget it, just sitting back and watching the show is the most comfortable way to go.

Don't expect me to save the world.

Everyone: What is this little baby saying? Why can't they understand a word of it?

Song Yuqing was overjoyed to find his family ruined and his wife gone.

It's likely that from today onwards, he'll never want to bring any more beautiful women back.

As soon as He Qiuniang and the others stepped out of the Song residence gate.

Song Yuqing decisively and without giving any face had the door closed.

Waaaaah, this is so tragic.

Who exactly did he offend?

How come everything is suddenly gone?

"This uncle doesn't seem to welcome us."

He Qiuniang, holding Shi Yu, twitched her lips and said.

To be honest, it's a bit of a shame for her to say that.

She couldn't help but look down at the exquisitely beautiful baby in her arms.

Sigh, you can't mess with her baby no matter who you are.

Now we can not only enjoy gossip, but also see ghosts.

Looking back...

Sigh, He Qiuniang really doesn't know how to educate her daughter anymore.

"Don't worry about him," said Princess Zhaoyang.

"Everything I have, my future belongs to you and the children."

"Don't worry about the Song family's affairs."

"But they're overthinking it."

"It seems I must tell His Majesty that we should reduce the amount of gifts we bestow upon their family."

"Qiu Niang, I've found a house I like."

"It's already been bought. You and the children can move there now."

"The area around the Shifu government is controversial, so it's better to sell it cleanly."

"Mother, you bought me a house!" He Qiuniang was both surprised and delighted.

"Yes, I bought it especially for you." Princess Zhaoyang looked at He Qiuniang with tender eyes.

“We have been separated for many years, and your mother has wronged you in many ways.”

"For the rest of my life, all I want is to treat you well and make up for all the years I've wronged you."

"Mother..." Just as He Qiuniang was about to be moved, Shi Yu in her arms uttered a heartfelt message.

[Mom, Grandma Zhaoyang is so good to you.]

The house she bought is only for people of high status and power.

Even wealthy families might not be able to afford to live there.

[It's right next to Tantai Qingchuan.]

[We don't even need to hire guards anymore.]

[Just call out if you need anything, it's so convenient.]

[To have a great general as my mother's bodyguard—that sounds incredibly cool.]

【Hahaha……】

What? It's next to Tantai Qingchuan?

He Qiuniang looked at Princess Zhaoyang with a surprised expression.

Princess Zhaoyang gave a rare, awkward smile.

If she had known her granddaughter had such abilities, she should have secretly told Qiu Niang about it.

"Qiu Niang, your mother made this arrangement for your safety."

"Look at you now, you're single, and it's not convenient for you to have a child."

“If there isn’t someone trustworthy and reliable to watch over her, Mother won’t feel at ease.”

In fact, Princess Zhaoyang originally wanted He Qiuniang's family to move to the palace to live with her.

However, there are many women in the palace, and there are also many intrigues and power struggles.

She feared that her daughter, who grew up in the countryside, wouldn't be able to overcome those complicated and unsavory situations, and would instead live an unhappy life!

That's why she wanted to buy a fine house for her daughter in the capital.

But she was worried about safety in other places.

At this moment, her adopted son knelt down and begged her, and she had no choice but to go along with it.

She watched Tantai Qingchuan grow up; apart from being a bit rough around the edges, he didn't have any major flaws.

As a mother, she always hoped to see her child happy.
